A former Palestinian terrorist said he "regrets nothing" and will not apologize for being one of the masterminds of the 1972 attack at the Munich Olympics in which 11 Israeli athletes were killed, according to a TV interview transcript released Saturday.
Mohammed Oudeh, better known by the code name Abu Daoud, said it was up to Palestinians to "fight as long as it takes Israel to recognize our rights."
"I regret nothing" about the Munich attacks, the former Palestinian Liberation Organization terrorist told Germany's Spiegel TV, according to a transcript of the interview released before its broadcast. "You can only dream that I would apologize."
Spiegel TV said they spoke with the 68-year-old, who lives in Damascus, Syria, last week in Cairo.
Daoud was a member of a shadowy Palestinian terrorist group called Black September that took Israeli weightlifters hostage at the 1972 Olympic Games. Eleven Israelis, three of the Palestinian attackers and a German police officer were killed during a near two-day standoff.
Daoud told Spiegel TV he brought the weapons involved in the attack by train from Frankfurt to Munich in various suitcases, then stored them in lockers before distributing them to his team when they arrived. He had previously scouted the Olympic village, and said he had no problem reaching inner areas.
"Nobody checked us," he said.
Daoud reiterated what he said in his 1999 autobiography that the intent was never to kill the Israeli athletes.
He was also quoted as saying the members of the Black September group killed by Israeli agents through the 1970s were the wrong people.
"The people who were shot all had nothing to do with Munich," he said.
German police issued an arrest warrant for Daoud in 1999 after he revealed in his book the role he had played in the attack.
American director Steven Spielberg's film "Munich" has recently drawn attention to the Olympic attack.
So the address is Damascus. Clock is ticking...
This is weak journalism. A good reporter would have asked him for his home's GPS coordinates.
Bombs away!
"the intent was never to kill the Israeli athletes"
Of course not! They just wanted to... talk to them. I think we've all seen how much they value life.
A devil worshiping follower of TROP speaks his mind.
Why is the piece of sh*t still alive?
No, the intent was to pass out candy in the streets . . .
"... it was up to Palestinians to "fight as long as it takes Israel to recognize our rights." "
Apparently those rights include the right to commit genocide, the right to kill unarmed civilians, the right to fill the airwaves with old Nazi propoganda... you know, THOSE rights. For a minute there, I thought he was being ironic. </sarcasm>
if he fessed up in 1999, Mossad's had 7 whole years to nail him. They must be getting rusty.
"This is weak journalism. A good reporter would have asked him for his home's GPS coordinates."
Good one. I agree, but it's hard to believe that this isn't known.
This should gladden Spielberg's heart.
Another piece of weak journalism. The reporter should have asked the obvious follow-up: what are the names and the locations of the ones truly responsible?

Yep sonny, I remember the days when we didn't even know what a muslim was.
Yep, there was a time when we all thought Islam was just a religion...but that time has come and gone.
Stevie is too busy making films about his "peace prayers" to Islamic animals who seek the following:
1.) Absolute extermination of Jews
2.) World domination
He is evidently too STUPID to understand that.
Interesting, it is hard to believe this guy: Abu Daoud is still alive and has written a book bragging about being a terrorist.
Stormlead is right: What happened to the mossad?
